I do think there is a small chance Payton is waiting to see what will happen in Dallas, but I also think hes a smart coach who knows where he can win more and may just want to see what is offered to him by other teams to get the most out of Benson

I used to like Duncan, but the dude is unbearable at times. The Bounty gate fiasco really made me lose some respect. He was anti-Saints in every regard, but couldn't back up why exactly. Just a completely negative point of view on everything Saints. He has been a little better lately though, but this is probably all forced.

frick it, let's put the exclusive franchise tag on Payton. That ought to block other teams from being able to offer...

He either does or he doesn't want the Dallas Job. Nothing that happens in FanLand will impact his decision one Iota. I'm just not looking forward to the Handwringing, nailbiting, Anxiety-laden threads that are on the horizon.

First off, the Drew Brees contract was something I believe that most of us knew would get done. I had no stress over it. And if you're trying to blame his contract issue on the rough start you'd be wrong. Notice the improvement that's been set from getting a coach like Vitt, who fires the guys up, coming back allowing focus Kromer to focus the O-line and improving the running game. Notice how everything is clicking again, and looking like... The Saints

After an 0-4 start, we bounce back and win 4 out of the last 5 games. The Saints are playing good, inspired football right now. We are witnessing what may be a historic run, and this a group highly capable of it. Now is no time to hang our heads, or worry about bull shite. No time for negativity. Let's enjoy the run. While we know Payton would be making a huge mistake by leaving, we can't worry about that right now. Let's let THIS season play out. And if I were a big gambler, I'd bet on Payton being her next season. Stop worrying.
